About Readymade

Vancouver dream pop outfit Readymade came from the remains of Pipedream in 1995. Arch (guitar), Throwen Daggers (bass), D.T. (DJ/mixer), and Dr. Roberts (drums) compose an experimental fusion of space rock guitars and melodic dreamscapes similar to the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Southpacific. Their self-produced cassette EP, For Every Fledgling 12th Floor Jumper, a limited-edition rarity, was an enigmatic precursor to their proper debut, The Dramatic Balanced. Released in 1997, The Dramatic Balanced caught the eye of Endearing Records; Readymade had a deal and keyboardist Kevin Hilts was brought on board in 1998. A 7" single, entitled "The Block Alone," was issued shortly thereafter and Readymade took reign over college charts across North America and Canada. After a long break, Readymade issued On Point and Red in fall 2001. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
